2 Reason why Virtual Box’ “seamless mode” isn’t seamless
Thursday, January 29th, 2009I’ve been running Virtual Box’ in seamless mode with a Linux host and a Windows guest and it is very impressive, but I wouldn’t call it seamless for 2 reasons.
- Windows are not managed by the hosts window manager - like they are with things like WINE.
- All the icons in the systray should be in the notification area, and so should things like the Windows Start Menu - see how VirtualPC integrates the Windows Menu with the Mac OSX dock.
If these things were fixed, then it would be seamless.
